A #physics student of mine had a very interesting (and I hope educational) #ChatGPT fail the other day. They want to design a mobile experiment measuring the photo effect in different conditions. They have one of those usual 475 nm UV LEDs and wanted to know which material to use. So they […]

Today was one of those physics lessons which completely escalated in a fun and spontaneous way when students demanded (at the end of a long arduous unit on induction and electric/magnetic fields) that they want to 'transmit something' So I took our […] [Original post on astrodon.social]

Why would one remake the classic Angels and Demons, but without antimatter research and bogus symbology science?

Gravity anomaly map of the Chicxulub crater in the Yucatán responsible for the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. Of the dinosaurs, only the avians (birds) survived this time period. The white dots are sinkhole locations which trace the crater's rim. #Science #Geology #PaleoSky #Dinosaurs 🧪🦕🦖

Question What are interesting research topics in classical and analytical mechanics one could give a first year student of #physics for a smaller project? I want something interesting that is doable but more than just writing up a standard problem. #physicsedu

Have you ever wondered what book you would swear an oath by if the occasion arose? (if not your holy book ofc.) As a good heathen I always envisioned something like Darwin or so, but in light of recent events I think it would be this one: It's the […] [Original post on astrodon.social]

Happy Birthday Charles #Darwin! I am a huge admirer of his works and his writing, and he has been an inspiration for my nonfiction writing. If you haven't, check out his Voyage of the Beagle travelogue, and of course Origin of Species (1st unspoiled edition :).

Thinking back about my physics studies, many aspects of it were pretty terrible for an aspiring theorist - The theoretical mechanics professor managed to completely botch Hamiltonian mechanics, barely giving it its time of day, and I don't think he ever got to Hamilton-Jacobi. The theoretical […]

Happy 140th Birthday Alban Berg! Master reconciler of avant garde radicalism and romantic sensibilities. Probably one of my top three favorite works of the 20th century, though I cannot stomach it every day... https://youtu.be/xZFSSGTl2SA?si=Gmk5LfQm7pP2p9Eo #classicalmusic
